MEXICO CITY — ''The security for foreign tourists in Mexico not only is good, it is perhaps better than in other countries.'' That statement is in a new pamphlet put out by the press office of President Miguel de la Madrid. Also in the document: Statistics. Such as: Between 1980 and 1984, 18.2 million Americans visited Mexico and 23 were slain, 17 were victims of other criminal acts and 11 were involved in other mishaps. The government is spending $3 million in foreign countries to promote tourism in Mexico. Tourism is the nation's second-largest source of foreign exchange. First: Petroleum.
